Function
- Generate a table summarizing the structural adequacy for the stress limit checks based on the assessment checks for SLS.

From the main menu, select [Rating] tab > [Type : PSC Bridge] > [PSC Bridge : CS454/20] > [Result] group > [Assessment Result Tables] > [SLS Reserve Factors Table]
Input
Element : Element ID
Part : The i- or j-end of the element, giving the Node ID at that end in square brackets [Node ID]
Class : The specified class for stress limit
Rating Case : The relevant Load Combinations for Assessment. Assessment check is performed for 12 sets of concurrent forces for each load combination.
Load Effect : Indicates whether the bending moment is positive (sagging) or negative (hogging).
sig_c : Compression stress in the concrete. Compression is positive.
sig_c_lim : Compression stress limit in concrete.
sig_t : Tension stress in the concrete. Tension is negative.
sig_t_lim : Tension stress limit in concrete.
A : Structural Adequacy – calculated as the stress limit divided by the applied stress, taken as the worst from the compression and tension case.
Check : An overall indication whether the section passed all checks and is OK or Not Good (NG)
